Over The Seas [Kim Sunwoo The Boyz]

Ch. Fifteen

After taking a speedy shower, I start to get myself dressed. As I start to think about what to wear, I realized Jihoon never told me where we're even going...
I quickly put something on and head to Jihoon's bedroom. I've only been in his room a few times and only for a few seconds. He always whines about privacy and whatnot, he can seriously be a child sometimes.
I knock on his door and I can hear his footsteps coming towards the door. He opens it abruptly and I open my mouth to speak but I see a weird look appear on Jihoon's face.
"What's wrong?" I say in an annoyed tone.
"You're seriously going to K's party looking like that?" He replies in the same tone.

Kangji's party ??? What party ? Seriously, what's going on ???

I was a bit taken aback from his words, but I finally responded.
"Kangji's party? You could've said something when you barged into my room earlier!"
He took a second to find the right words.
"I forgot?"
I look at him angrily with eyes saying, "Are you being serious right now?" and I knew he understood
I walk back to my room and wear more fashionable clothing.

I head downstairs and see my brother waiting impatiently at the door.
"Are you ready? You have all you need? You better not be forget something because we're n-,"
I cut him off by raising my hand in front of him and shaking my head, motioning him to stop talking.
"I got everything, now let's leave before you explode from your lack of patience."
I open the door and head out first.

We walk for a few minutes and take the bus for a few more. After what seemed 10 hours, we finally arrived at Kangji's house. It looked very familiar to our house, but a bit less subtle. It appeared very big from the outside and it had a very modern style.
After admiring the house, Jihoon knocks on the door and Kangji appears on the other side. I quickly run up to Jihoon as Kangji opens the door.
"Jihoon, you're here! I thought it would take you another hour!" Kangji says joyfully, welcoming us inside.
"Well I had to wait for this one to get ready. You know girls, right ?" Jihoon ruffles the top of my head and walks off before I'm able to defend myself.
You're the one who forgot to even tell me about the party....

I look around and see a few people I don't recognize. It's not a huge party to where every room in crowded but there are a fair amount of people here. I was hoping it was only Kangji, Danny, Chansuk, Sunwoo, Jihoon and I but I forgot that they all have other friends besides us.
I find the table where the drinks are near the kitchen and find the soda that looks the most similar to Sprite.
I lean my hand on the table while taking small sips of my drink. I look to see any sort of familiar face but no luck so far. I'd imagine he invited Sunwoo, right ? Maybe he's busy with his work.
I guess I can call Sewoon to come...but I don't know if it'll be rude of me to invite someone to someone else's party. I'll just ask Kangji.
I look around for Kangji but can't seem to find him anywhere on the first floor. Maybe he went upstairs to escape from all the people- it makes sense.
I turn to go back to my spot and I see some random guy standing right where I was before. I sigh and decided to look for a clear spot elsewhere.
I feel my phone start to ring in my back pocket. I check to see who it is and Jihoon is calling me. Feeling confused, I answered the phone.
"Heyyy, Riyae! Where are you? Are you having fun?? Stay away from the drinks, you never know if someone spiked them...," He spoke, almost screaming. I took the phone away from my ear for a second so that my eardrums don't bleed.
"Hey! Why aren't you answering me?? Riyae!!" Jihoon screams trying to fight against the music. I put the phone a bit closer to my ear but still keeping a safe distance.
"I'm here, what do you want??" I answer, trying my best not to sound annoyed.
"I'm just calling to make sure you're okay. I didn't realize you weren't following me when we arrived but you're fine, right?"
I can hear the sincerity in his loud voice. I was about to get mad that he didn't realize that I wasn't with him until now but I get he's trying. Maybe he's still not used to having a sibling, let alone a younger sister.
"Yeah, I'm fine. A little bored actually." I replied.
"You're bored? At a party? Aren't you hanging out with the twins or Sunwoo?"
My heart skipped a bit as I heard Sunwoo's name. I had to take a second to respond.
"Uhh, I haven't seen them yet. I'm only surrounded by complete strangers right now." I start to look around for a familiar face once again.
"Well I know the twins are here and I think Sunwoo is getting here soon."
There it goes again...
"I'll keep an eye out for them, thanks."
Jihoon hangs up and I keep on looking for Sunwoo in the crowd but my luck seems to have run out.
I sigh again.
Can this be some sort of sign?

I take the last few sips of my fake Sprite and head back to the kitchen to get another.
Wait, what if that rando is still there? I hope not...
I gather up my courage to simply get another drink. I head over to the table slowly and with caution. I don't want to seem like I'm invading his personal space. I look around the corner to see if it's okay to make my move but then I see him start to turn his head towards me. I quickly put my head back before he saw. After a few seconds, I look again to see if he noticed me or not.
Wait, he's not there. Where did he go? Doesn't matter, this is my chance to get my spot back!

As I was about to straighten myself up and walk towards the kitchen, all of a sudden I hear someone close beside me say in a low whisper, "What are we looking at?"
I jumped and looked to see who it was.
It was Sunwoo, standing there with a mischievous smile on his face.
I can feel it getting a bit hotter but it could just be everyone else's body heat, right? My heart starts beating like crazy and suddenly, I feel shaky.
Sunwoo then raises his eyebrows at me, waiting for a response.
"Oh, um, n-nothing. I-I wasn't looking at anything." I say very shyly.
Why am I acting like this, thisissoembarrassing

"Were you spying on me?" Sunwoo says in a teasing manner.
Wait, that random guy was actually Sunwoo??? End me nowww

"Oh, I actually didn't know that was you, I-,"
"Mmhm, I'm sure you didn't know." A smirk appears on his face when he finished his sentence.
I try to remain calm and cool.
"Why would I voluntarily spy on you when we're already friends?" I try to say in a sarcastic tone but it came out a bit shaky.
Sunwo takes a bit to chose his words carefully.
"Alright, you got me on that one but then why were you lurking around the corner?"
How am I supposed to explain myself??
"I wanted to get a drink but there was a person there and I didn't want to bother them." I said truthfully.
He looked at me very confused.
"At least you were being considerate."
He chuckled a bit to lighten the mood. He starts walking towards to kitchen and gestures me to follow him. I try to walk normally without seeming so shaky. He grabs two random drinks which one happens to be the fake sprite. I reach for it but he starts to hand me the other soda. We pause trying to figure out what's going on, then he begins to laugh.
"Here," He hands me the sprite. "Just take this one." And he grabs the same drink.
